The congressman has a point - the American people are tired of fat cats getting paid just for being fat cats. I don't think he's gonna do much about it, but griping about it will probably help get him re-elected.

This sort of thing is actually at the heart of what happened with the banks in the first place. Leverage up and collect a $3M bonus if the business fails and collect a $30M bonus if it succeeds. Can't really go wrong with that, can ya?
